When you mention political desperation and cross carpeting in Nigeria politics, Peter Obis face should show up.
SMH. Zero leadership, zero principle.

You can’t satisfy everyone, Lagos Imam tells Tinubu

President Bola Tinubu joined Muslim worshippers on Friday at the Lekki Central Mosque in Lagos for Jumat prayers.


National Security Adviser, Malam Nuhu Ribadu; Deputy Governor of Lagos State, Dr. Obafemi Hamzat; Chief of Staff to the President, Rt-Hon. Femi Gbajabiamila; President Bola Ahmed Tinubu; Principal Private Secretary to the President Hakeem Muri-Okunola during the Jumat Prayer at the Lekki Central Mosque, Lagos State. Friday, December 26, 2025.

The visiting Imam, Dr Salahudeen Arriyadhi, praised the President for the numerous developmental projects being carried out by his administration and encouraged him to stay resolute despite criticisms.

A Friday statement shared by Special Adviser to the President (Information & Strategy), Bayo Onanuga, revealed this.

“You cannot satisfy everyone at the same time,” Dr Arriyadhi told Tinubu.

Quoting the Quran, he added, “Allah was happy with leaders who listened to the cries of his followers but unhappy with leaders who do not attend to the needs of the led.

“We are praying for you, and you will succeed.”

In his sermon titled ‘Unity in Diversity’ and ‘Remembering the Day of Judgement’, Dr Arriyadhi emphasised that human diversity in colour, tribe, religion, language, and nation was deliberate, ordained by Allah.


He said, “Diversity is a sign of Allah’s Wisdom. If Allah had wanted every one of his creations to be one, he would have created them one.

“Diversity in religion and tribe should not be a source of problems.”

He urged that differences be viewed as a foundation for harmony, learning, and unity.

Tinubu, accompanied by his Chief of Staff, Rt-Hon. Femi Gbajabiamila, and National Security Adviser, Malam Nuhu Ribadu, was welcomed at the mosque by the Deputy Governor of Lagos State, Dr Obafemi Hamzat, and the mosque management.

The President arrived in Lagos on December 20 to spend the end-of-year festive season in the commercial capital.

In your delusional dreams.

The SW fought for decades since Awolowo for the capital to be moved AWAY from Lagos state.

No Yoruba person, including Tinubu, wants the capital back in Lagos. It was seen as an invasion.

Yes it did.
God bless President Trump and President Tinubu.

Yes it was.
God bless President Trump!
God bless President Tinubu!


Death to all terrorists in Nigeria.

This was Tinubus Christmas message on Christmas morning in Nigeria.

He tagged Donald Trump. Some people on twitter are saying it was the Judas kiss signalling to Trump that it’s go-time.

I don laugh tire for twitter.

He also said in this mornings interviews that if it is deemed necessary by the US department of war and the Nigerian Defense, more strikes could be coming.

Also the US and Nigeria have been running collaborative recognizance on all terrorist spots since November. Nigerian defense still talked about it on Dec 24th.

They never hid this collaboration from the public.

The Nigeria government says President Bola Tinubu gave the go-ahead for the US strikes against terrorists in the country’s North-Western region.

Foreign Affairs Minister, Yusuf Tuggar, said this on Friday, hours after the US Department of War and President Donald Trump announced the North American nation had conducted strikes against the terrorists.

“Now that the US is cooperating, we would do it jointly, and we would ensure, just as the President emphasised yesterday before he gave the go-ahead, that it must be made clear that it is a joint operation, and it is not targeting any religion nor simply in the name of one religion or the other,” the minister said on Channels Television’s Sunrise Daily.

“We are a multi-religious country, and we are working with partners like the US to fight terrorism and safeguard the lives and properties of Nigerians,” the minister said.

Some have viewed the strikes as a violation of the country’s territorial integrity, but Tuggar says the Federal Government would not take any actions that would violate the country’s sovereignty.

“It is a collaboration, it is what we have been calling for,” Tuggar said on the breakfast show.

“It was Nigeria that provided intelligence for the US strike in Nigeria. I spoke with the US Secretary of State, Marco Rubio, for 19 minutes before the strike, and we agreed to talk to President Tinubu for his go-ahead, and he gave it,” the Bauchi-born minister said.

“After the approval, I spoke again with Marco Rabio five minutes before the strike was launched against the terrorists.”

On Thursday, the Department of Defense said “multiple ISIS terrorists” were killed in the strikes conducted at the behest of the Nigerian government.

Trump also announced the strikes, saying, “The Department of War executed numerous perfect strikes, as only the United States is capable of doing. Under my leadership, our Country will not allow Radical Islamic Terrorism to prosper.

“May God bless our Military, and MERRY CHRISTMAS to all, including the dead Terrorists, of which there will be many more if their slaughter of Christians continues,” he wrote on Truth Social.

Although the details of the attack were not stated, the US Department of War later published a short video clip showing an airstrike in Nigeria.

The US Secretary of War, Pete Hegseth, and the US Africa Command (AFRICOM) said the strikes in Sokoto were in “coordination with Nigerian authorities.”

“The @DeptofWar is always ready, so ISIS found out tonight — on Christmas. More to come… Grateful for Nigerian government support & cooperation,” Hegseth wrote on X.

Thursday’s strikes come several weeks after the Republican president said Christians in Nigeria faced an “existential threat” that amounted to “genocide”.

Trump placed Nigeria back on the list of “Countries of Particular Concern,” threatened military action in the West African nation if the issue is not addressed. He later imposed visa restrictions on Nigerians.

But the Nigerian authorities rejected the framing of the violence in the country as religious, saying people of diverse faiths are targeted in killings in the nation.

KingOfAmebo:
Don't come online again to defend rubbish with assumptions, next time present your evidence because we are not all dumboos here that accept anything you type without evidence.

I shall not do your homework for you. Next time don’t argue blindly over things you don’t know. 5 people have corrected you about time zones. M-u-m-u.

Correct information by the US African command.
God bless President Trump.
God bless President Tinubu.
God bless Nigeria.

blackgold2018:
mugu. What’s stopping Nigeria from teaching the terrorist a lesson themselves??

Obasanjo, Yaradua, Jonathan and Buhari have been there done that. The terrorists have continued to expand and taken over the Sahel.
Tinubu is pursuing this approach and it will work.

KingOfAmebo:
Mr. Timekeeper, show us evidence of the time when Trump tweeted and the time the Nigerian government responded, You are terribly slow because time difference doesn't affect the speed of the Internet, You type anything online everyone sees it immediately around the globe irrespective of time difference, it took hours after Trump tweeted before the Nigerian government responded, below is another video evidence to cure your ignorance.


https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VOKg2PWAG_U&pp=ygUeQW1lcmljYSdzIGFpcnN0cmlrZSBvbiBOaWdlcmlh

You can go do that work yourself. I have posted on here when the Nigerian govt posted, and it was around the same time the US posted.

KingOfAmebo:
See this ones, Is Christmas day on 26th? Saying trash as always, So if Americans type anything online it takes hours before you see it here in Nigeria because it is still 25th over there... defending rubbish without sense.

Fact is, it took hours after Trump tweeted before the Nigerian government responded, whether it is 25th in America or 26th in Nigeria...the response was hours apart and there's no such thing as typing something in America for it to take hours before anyone around the world to see it, you see it seconds after it is typed in America...period.

It took me hours to get to see the response of the Nigerian government after Trump's tweet, Infact, I went on YouTube to search, Aisha Yesufu event talked about not getting responses from the Nigerian government while recording a video about the US Airstrike, she keeps scrolling her to see any updates from the Nigerian government hours after the airstrike.

We were all awake but the Nigerian government was asleep as always.

Below is the Youtube Video were Aisha Yesufu was checking for the Nigerian government response hours after the Airstrike.


https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VOKg2PWAG_U&pp=ygUeQW1lcmljYSdzIGFpcnN0cmlrZSBvbiBOaWdlcmlh

You are a bit slow. It was NOT hours. It was a few minutes apart.
Dec 25th 10pm (USA) is the exact same time as Dec 26th 5am (Nigeria). I was watching everything happen live on twitter and I am in the US. It was Christmas night here when the bombs went off. You people were in the middle of the night of Boxing Day..

So many ridiculous posts.

Can the obidient propagandists on the front page rest.

These joint US-Nigerian air strikes have been publicly discussed since November as part of the strategy between Nigeria and the US against terrorists. It’s not out of the blue. And Tinubu reiterated it last week that all terrorist cells will be destroyed.

So why the dramatic takes? More strikes are coming and it’s all according to President Tinubus security plan.

Checkmate to the terrorists and their sympathisers
Checkmate to propagandists too. You absolving Tinubu of responsibility for the bombing will only make him look good to northerners - a fine line he has been threading. So continue. Lol!

SmartyPants:
Talking obvious gibberish. The strike occurred in the early morning of the 26th, which is today. It is being reported as the 25th by the American press, because it is still the 25th over there.

They are just grasping at straws. It’s currently December 25th 10:07 pm in the United states right now. I believe it’s currently December 26th 5:07am in Nigeria right now.
The Nigerian government twitter page and the US Africon page all posted the same time as Trump about 4 hours ago.

The Nigerian ministry of defence even already posted this 21 hours ago on Dec 24th before the strikes happened. The 2 countries are clearly working together.

omoredia:
Sultan is not happy nah. US should run this country for us abeg

Tinubu and the US are working together hand in hand to get the terrorist cells destroyed.
It’s a thing of joy to all the good people of Nigeria. All the haters of Nigeria can keep lamenting about the good news though.

More strikes are coming. Keep crying.

They targeted the Lakurawa terrorist group.
Well done President Tinubu!
He has warned everyone at the National Assembly during the budget rollout. Every terrorist cell will be attacked in the coming weeks. Expect more strikes.

Arewa must not complain. They must allow this important work be done in coordination with the US.

omoredia:
Nigerian govt shame on u. Sebi u said u cant bomb terrorists in Nigeria because sambisa forest is too thick

frog12:
ah, nigeria dey weak

see as dem pull nigeria pants down

Tinubu said last week that they are focused on the terrorists and will be attacking their enclaves.

They have started now, in coordination with US intelligence and capabilities.
Why are you still complaining?

omoredia:
Nigerian govt shame on u. Sebi u said u cant bomb terrorists in Nigeria because sambisa forest is too thick

KingOfAmebo:
The Nigerian government have not come out to say anything about the strike. This should tell us that they weren't informed and the US government is making it look like they were informed so it doesn't look like an invasion.

If it was Peter Obi that spoke the same time the American government conducted the strike, Bayo Onanuga and his shameless fellow APC spokesperson would have responded with a speed of light, but hours after the airstrike by America none of them have spoken...they have suddenly become dummb.

Shame on the Nigerian government and the compromised military architecture, a deadly strike you cannot conduct for over 15 years was done in just one night.

Now that the strike has started, expect more to come... except the Nigerian government start prosecuting and eliminating known terrorists sponsors and sympathyzers in government and outside government to save face.





Is Pete Hegseth now the spokesperson for the Nigerian government? You people just enjoy deceiving yourselves.

You want the American government to inform the terrorists filled Nigerian government before they strike so terrorists in government will leak the information to their brothers in the forests. Make una dey play, the botched Chibok girls rescue mission already tought the American government a lesson on how not to trust the Nigerian government with Intel.



I am current enough to know the strike was conducted on December 25, 2025 but the Nigerian government is issuing a statement the following day, didn't you check the date on the statement you uploaded? Have they ever taken this long to respond to statements by Peter Obi?

The Nigerian government and ministry of foreign affairs have both tweeted about the strikes in Sokoto.

It was coordinated by America and Nigeria. This is the official Nigerian government page 3 hours ago.

Wow!

Ashirioluwa:
$235 per person

Thank you for this.

aiguobs:
The green card is 235 dollars per person. I paid 1410 for a family of 6 with my access bank visa gold card.

Okay thanks. Please did you have to submit any other forms? Like the i485 cos that’s what I saw when I went to the USCIS website?

Ashirioluwa:
- Visit the USCIS' “Case Status Online” tracker.
- Enter your Receipt Number.

Just for your information.
When a new immigrant enters the U.S. for the first time with an immigrant visa, the immigration officer at the POE will stamp the immigrant passport with an I-551 endorsement that serves as a temporary green card and proof of Lawful Permanent Resident (LPR) status, allowing the immigrant to work and reside before the physical green card arrives.

The I-551 stamp, combined with the immigrant visa in your passport, functions as a temporary green card for up to one year from the date of entry. 

You can take your passport to the social security office to apply for a social security number if you don't have one yet.

Hi, thanks for this info. Apparently the homeland security at the border control already ordered for our social security numbers when we landed and we had no idea. I went to the social security office and they said it was already ordered and we should expect it via mail.

Please can i ask how much it is to apply for the green card for the applicant and each beneficiary?

aiguobs:
Good evening all. Please how do I track my green card?

Hi please can i confirm how much the green card is for each person cos im seeing $1500 to submit the i485 form and my eyes are turningonitsown.
So if a family of 4 relocated is that $1500 for each person?

Amoj4682:
Hi all, just wanted to ask why people living overseas still come to Nigeria for interview why not transfer the case to Embassy in your new location provided you have the resident permit of the country for the US preference visa to processed over there.

For my own case, when I was submitting my documents to CEAC last year my UK visa was expiring in May 2025. We didn't know where we would be to complete the process since many things take years, that's why i chose Lagos. We only renewed the visa again a few months ago.

Ellie123:
Good day guys,
I have been scheduled for my visa interview f3 and I just submitted some documents on the CEAC (pictures,calls etc) and I don’t know how long it will take for the documents submitted to be approved because my in person document review is soon.
And what other documents should I upload to show proof of relationship?

Bank transfers or western union transfers.
Call logs/whassap chats

aiguobs:
Congratulations

Thank you bro.

Its been one long journey and I finally got my F3 visa (formally F1 but I got married and pivoted).
